Jurgen Klopp once said he could never be Liverpool's Sir Alex Ferguson or even their Arsene Wenger as he set out his future vision.
Instead he will be their new Bob Paisley, with his new contract making him the club's longest-serving manager since the three-time European Cup winner retired in 1983.
If he fulfills the two-year extension he will become the joint-fourth longest-serving boss in the club's history.
He is the 12th manager at the club since Bill Shankly took charge in 1959. The Scot managed for 15 years as he transformed the club into a powerhouse of English football.
He handed the reins over to his assistant, Paisley, who continued the work of his predecessor between 1974 and 1983.
But since Paisley's nine-year stint no Liverpool manager has gone over the six years that Kenny Dalglish oversaw between 1985 and 1991.
Both Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez matched that total but failed to kick on as their tenures reached a natural end point.
Unsurprisingly it's Roy Hodgson who is the shortest-serving manager in the club's entire history, sacked after just 31 games in charge between 2010 and 2011.

lets hope he last up till he's contract with the ways clubs tend to dispense with their coach if he has a poor run of results
It'll definitely cost them a whole season of no results you no and I it's not gonna happen so stop your pessimism and get to grips whether you like it or not but Liverpool are here to stay and kick ass and continue doing so for the next 30yrs you tweet on that and get with the program

That's if things do go well. I'm sure, if Liverpool were to put up a string of 4,5 winless games in the EPL, the management would be reviewing his contract and, if they surrender the lead, Klopp won't be in charge by next Summer. It's simple guess.
Now you tweet on that and smoke it dude

Dream on brother in your dreams Klopp isn't much for the money but the passion for the club cause he could have gone to any club but he chose Liverpool because his wife love the club now so does he and for your info there is no way that Liverpool are going to surrender that lead any time soon they will fight to the sweetest end that's how much this chance mean to them
